Any way of producing a random frequency between a set range at a specified rate?

I have tried rand~ but changes continuously?

Im basically looking to produce the affect of drunk in MSP domain.

as you say, there's a Max way and an MSP way; here's both:

I've also just discovered the joys of [sah~], see this thread too:

I'm also trying to randomize the phasor ramp (0, 1) once it has complete a cycle...any thoughts?

I'm working on a granular synthesis patch in MSP domain for timing purposes,

No doubt, the Max gods out there will provide something more elegant than this, which randomizes [phasor~] freq at the top of each ramp.

in the 2nd example, change [phasor~] freq to 1. to initialize the process - ooops

Thanks Brendan, but won't incorporating max domain affect timing?....i tried scaling noise and then using the number~ object right outlet to drive phasor~ which worked, but again this switches domains.

I suppose it depends how tight you want the timing to be, if it's a ms value larger than your Signal Vector Size then it's irrelevant isn't it? This is a grey area for me (as you guessed probably); why not send the [number~] value direct to the phasor~ input?

Yeah, but multiple grain generators scheduled in max become problematic, i want sample accurate timing. Number~ box has a delay as well i think. I'll look into other ways and post something if your interested.

I'm going to have several attempts at this one, as time-domain granulation is something of an obsession of mine, like so many others i guess, but also cos it's a challenge. Why not start a new thread, there are many talented and experienced Maxers here who would suggest a solution in no time.....keep me posted
